ABSTRACT
The lead article of the January 2002 issue of Educational Leadership suggested five strategies for schools to welcome children from sexual minority families. The journal for Equity and Excellence in Education has finalized a special issue focusing on LGBTQ issues in schools. The Journal of Adolescence (2001) and the High School Journal (1993–1994) have already featured such special issues. Each of these reflects the positive changes in school climates for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) students, teachers, faculty, and staff, as well as the vast growth and development in the research and scholarship regarding both LGBTQ educational issues and queer theory itself in the past two decades.
